I had always assumed that Patrick was a tongue in cheek portrait until someone who knew AF said that she was a completely committed pre-Second Vatican convert. I had to read the whole series again in the light of that As for Nicola and Patrick - it's not necessary to me to wonder about the future - since WW2, how many people marry their neighbours/childhood friends? Not saying it never happens - but increasingly unusual?
